    LoL...you were a hwaker and cleaner. These jobs are for the poor so you can't tell us you have not experienced poverty before.

  • Justice Essuman 10 months ago

    I disagree with. Hawking does not equate to poverty. Someone can on the streets and live better than someone working in a comfortable office. Quite recently, I engaged some coconut sellers and you would blown by how much th ...

    I get you, but that does not mean the said hawker never experienced poverty. How could a cleaner claimed he never experienced poverty before? Lol

  • Lazy man 10 months ago

    It was poverty that led him into doing those jobs. He could be rich today, but he started off as a poor man, hence he has tasted poverty before. Who comes from a rich background and sells on the streets...Aw..

    @lazyman.Oh how.You lack understanding.look up the definition of poverty.
    This man is an inspiration,it pays to work hard and be honest in your dealings with others

    Poverty comes in different forms. 80% of teachers end up being poor in their pension years. Despite the fact that they are one of the most hardworking and honest groups in Ghana. So its not a straight cut black and white!

    Who told you that cleaning is for the poor? It is better than most jobs in Ghana. A lot of people are doing cleaning and they are rich

  • Nana 10 months ago

    He may. have been misquoted bcoz being an old student of Adonten Secondary School itself means he has suffered b4.That school was a "hell" in the 70s & 80s.How many could pass their O Levels in those days?

  • Missing childs 10 months ago

    It appears as though am the only lost one here. The narrative points to the fact that he dumped school to chase after money. Fine ! But the story goes further to indicate that he has a background in electrical engineering. I ...

    He really doesn't understand the word poverty. You did menial jobs but never experienced poverty,how? Having 3 square meals does not necessarily mean you were not poor. Then he said he had experience in electrical engineering ...

    Do you only study at school? He could be an apprentice. He never said he had a certificate.

  • Kwabena- London 10 months ago

    It's his life story let him tell it if he wishes to do so to make him happy. Don't challenge it.

  • Peeved 10 months ago

    Where is poverty if a cleaner can feed and cloth his family?
    Doing menial does not make you poor

  • Elvis 10 months ago

    He became redundant in his job in the United Kingdom and that's when he learnt electrical engineering. He was in Sixth form in Ghana when he dropped out to chase money. Listen well to the interview.

    Amen. When you become successful remember to help others and stay humble.

  • Yabi Yabi 10 months ago

    Typical CV of Ghanaians in EU nations but particularly the UK. A man who dropped out of secondary school in Ghana migrates to the UK but throws around words like electrical engineering and medical tech. As years pass us by we ...

    It's not your hard work. Some work harder than you but remain at the fringes of success. It's the Grace of God.

    For some Kwahu people it is normal.

    Being an electrician is not the same as electrical engineer. Technician belongs to the vocational field, engineering is highly skilled field. Regardless he has done well for himself and needs to be commended.

  • I KNOW CHRISTIAN YAW ASISEDU!!! 10 months ago

    I know this man (Christian) very very well at Kantamanto.

    His father was Mr Opare and he attended Derby Avenue Roman Catholic Primary school.

    He lived in the same house as Alima, the popular waakye seller.

  • I KNOW CHRISTIAN YAW ASISEDU!!! 10 months ago

    Christian, give THANKS AND PRAISE ie be GRATEFUL to your parents, especially your father Mr Opare, who provided for you so that you did not see poverty when you were young.

    It is often wiser to remain quiet instead of spewing nonsense. In your personal narrative, you mentioned facing redundancy in London and even experiencing a period of unemployment. How can you now claim to have never encounte ...

  • Bazz 10 months ago

    Poverty is a mindset however I think he is just bragging, he doesn't understand the word Poverty. Bragging is a common thing among some tribes, am sorry but that's the truth

    Thanks, I was going to ask the same question how can a drop out become an engineer? Then what did he do at the medical association? Maybe he also became a doctor!
